Editing of “To Make as Perfectly as Possible” is in full swing this week, and our house has been overcome by the process.

The 1977 reprint volumes of “L’Art du Menuisier” have transformed our bedroom into a library. There’s no better way to page through the books (including the 18th-century originals) than on our bed with the boards supported by pillows.

All our extra hard drive space is filled with backups and more backups of digital images. I even looked for a hard drive at Kroger this morning.

To process the photos, manipulate the line scans, edit the text and compare it to the original, I have all our computer screens crammed with the book. Laptop is on my lap and the desktop is on my desk. A. J. Roubo’s shoulder knives are stacked on the dresser. Polissoirs are propping up an extra 4-terabyte drive.

And speaking of Roubo, are you going to be in Cincinnati for Woodworking in America next week? Are you free that Friday night? If the answer to both questions is “yes,” then stay tuned to the blog tomorrow for a special Lost Art Press event we’re planning.

Hard drive at Krogers??? I have a hard drive to Krogers anytime my wife forces me to go to the grocery store!! Glad to see you are in this up to your a**hole…. that’s armhole for you guys with minds in the gutter! Can’t wait to see this hit the street. Happy editing!
